Congratulations!!! First off, I would call your dr. asap. He or she would be the best person to let you know how to proceed with getting off this drug. Also, if you have an OB call them too. I was on Prozac, which is in the same class as Zoloft and pretty much just weaned myself off of it gradually. However, I'm only starting to TTC next month

The only thing I know almost for sure is that "cold turkey" is not a good idea -especially if you're pregnant. One other thing you could do before you get in to the dr. is talk to the pharmacist where it was filled and ask them their opinion. Also, look on the internet for the company package insert. It may give you some guidelines for tapering off. It's at least worth a try...Good luck mama

Thank you. I was going to call the dr that prescribed it, but I don't exactly want to talk to them. It's an OBGYN office. If they find out I'm pregnant, they will try to pressure me to see them, and I am not going to do that.

Why would you need to go off it at all? Zoloft is a category B drug and is very safe in pregnancy. Talk to your ob about it. I got pregnant while on it, and took it throughout the pregnancy, no troubles at all. Baby came early at 37 weeks, was 10 lbs and totally healthy! BTW, I don't think he was that early/... I think our dates were off! He's nearly 8 months old now and developing great! I nursed him on z, too, until I weaned at 6 months. So there you go.
